Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Velveeta cheese
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Optional toppings: green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro
Instructions
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Season the cooked beef with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine evenly.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into 1-inch cubes for easier melting.
In a slow cooker or large saucepan, combine the cooked beef mixture, cubed Velveeta, and the can of Rotel (including the liquid).
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is smooth. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or keep it warm in a slow cooker on the 'warm' setting.
Top with optional green onions, jalapeños, or cilantro as desired, and serve immediately with tortilla chips for dipping.
